Summary

This study is looking for substances in urine that could help predict how well prostate cancer treatments work. Researchers will collect urine samples from 360 men with prostate cancer who are receiving standard treatments like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy. The goal is to find markers that signal early recurrence or progression, which could guide future treatment decisions.
